Windscreen Replacement
description
At North Glass, we provide professional windscreen replacements for all types of vehicles, including those equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Whether the windscreen has been damaged by a large crack, severe impact, or cannot be safely repaired, our experienced technicians install high-quality replacement glass that meets industry standards. We use the latest installation techniques and premium materials to ensure a secure fit. For ADAS equipped vehicles, we also ensure the windscreen is installed to manufacturer specifications and arrange or perform the necessary camera recalibration, helping the vehicle's safety features continue to operate accurately and reliably.
capture the lead
Before creating a windscreen replacement job, "create a new customer" or confirm the details of an "existing customer":✓ Customer name✓ Property address✓ Email address
✓ Phone number
Purpose: The information gathered during the initial phone call is to determine the following:1. To identify the correct vehicle requiring a new front windscreen.2. To confirm if the windscreen is fitted with technology (such as ADAS).3. To confirm the insurance details (if applicable).
4. To establish the details of the damage.
Using the "Auto Windscreen Replacement" or the "Auto Windscreen Replacement ADAS" job template, always work through the following checklist before booking in with a glazier.
1. Obtain the vehicle registration (Rego) number.
Why we ask: The registration allows us to identify the vehicle's make and model and helps us source the correct replacement windscreen.
2. Confirm the vehicle owners name.
Why we ask: This ensures the booking is recorded under the correct customer and matches any insurance claim information.
3. Ask if the replacement is being completed through insurance. If yes, obtain the insurance provider, claim number and/or policy number. Why we ask: We require the claim and policy numbers to process the replacement directly with the insurer where applicable. If the customer has no insurance we will have to provide them with a quote. 4. Confirm the date the damage occurred. Why we ask: This information may be required for insurance purposes and helps us confirm the claim details. 5. Confirm if the vehicle has any technology in the screen (if known). A quick search in NAGS will help you identify if the screen has these options. Technology can include: ADAS Camera / Rain Sensor / Antenna / Heated Wiper Release / Heated Screen / Acoustic Glass / Solar Glass / Heads-Up Display Why we ask: Modern vehicles are fitted with different windscreen technologies. Confirming these features ensures the correct replacement glass is ordered and allows us to determine whether additional services, such as ADAS camera recalibration, are required after the installation.
Before ending the call, confirm:✓ Customer name✓ Phone number✓ Email address✓ Vehicle registration, make and model ✓ Identified the windscreen they require (see below how to do this, keep the customer on the phone while you do this search) ✓ Schedule the booking (Always book the customer in) Once you have gathered all of the required information, explain the next steps to the customer: - If their screen is a standard replacement, let them know we need their vehicle for 3 hours. This allows time for the replacement and time for the urethane to cure. - If their vehicle has ADAS, let them know we will require their vehicle for the day to carry out the calibration of their safety features. - If they have insurance the will need to lodge a claim. - Confirm their booking date and time, let them know you will email them the booking confirmation using the "Auto Windscreen booking confirmation - STD Screen" or "Auto Windscreen booking confirmation - ADAS" email template. Update the date accordingly. - If they have no insurance we will have to do a quote and take a deposit payment before we can schedule their booking. See below.

identifying the windscreen
To correctly identify the replacement windscreen required for the customer's vehicle before ordering or booking the job, you will need to:
Step 1: Search the vehicle registration in CarJam. Confirm the vehicle details, including:Make and ModelYear (if available)Body type
Step 2: Using the vehicle information from CarJam, search NAGS for the available windscreen options. Determine whether there is:
A single/multiple windscreen options
Does the vehicle have any technology
Step 3: Ask the customer whether their current windscreen has any of the following features (if known):
ADAS Camera - Also known as lane assist (sometimes looks like a trapezium cutout behind the rear vision mirror)
Rain Sensor - Ask, do your wipers come on automatically when it starts raining?
Antenna - Can you see very fine lines or wires running through the edge of the windscreen?
Heated Wiper Release - Ask if they can see an orange strip or element at the bottom of the windscreen where the wipers rest?
Heated Screen - Very hard to seebut can they see very fine lines or a slight shimmer across the windscreen when sunlight hits it? (may need to sight vehicle)
Acoustic Glass - "ACOUSTIC”, “A”, or “Sound Screen” will be located in safety stamp (varies by manufacturer)
Solar Glass - "SOLAR" will be located in safety stap (screen can have a yellow or purple tinge)
Heads-Up Display - Ask, do you see your speed or oometer showing up on the windscreen while you drive?
Step 4: If multiple windscreen options are listed in NAGS, explain to the customer that additional information is required to identify the correct glass.
Ask if they can either:- Bring the vehicle in for identification; or- Complete and return a Windscreen ID Form using the "Auto Windscreen Identification Email" email template; or
- Send us some clear photos of the windscreen from outside the vehicle, using the "Auto Windscreen Photo Request" email template
Do not order the windscreen until the correct option has been confirmed. Step 5: If only one windscreen option is listed, advise the customer that we know which windscreen is required. Proceed with booking the vehicle in. Notes- Always confirm any windscreen technology before ordering, even if only one option is displayed.- If there is any uncertainty about the correct windscreen, request additional information before placing the order.- Correct identification at this stage helps avoid incorrect orders, delays, and additional costs.
